Microclimate Monitoring in a Micro Vineyard

Outdoor | April 9, 2019

Cool customer application coming your way!

Rick is a home winemaking enthusiast and creator of Smartwinemaking.com. He started his own "high-tech micro vineyard" in his backyard and chose HOBO Data Loggers to get a better grip on the local climate and seasonal extremes.

The data loggers are set to take a reading once every 10 minutes. The data is accessed with his smartphone via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and the free HOBOmobile® app. Rick says he has found this handy on rainy days and in the winter when he doesn’t have to venture out into the freezing cold!

Some of the perks from installing HOBO data loggers in his backyard vineyard include:

Rick says that his vineyard monitoring with the HOBO data loggers is going great:

“We had one night with temps dipping to -4°F according to the logger a couple weeks ago. The vines should have survived okay, but it was good to see. What I want to do is some comparisons to other areas near me to see how my microclimate compares to areas near me.”
